Highlights
The proportion of health facilities in Maban submitting weekly reports to the state and central level increased this week to 61% (14 out of 23) as compared to week 4 (see list of health facilities in Maban and supporting partners in page 2). Six health facilities serving refugees in Maban reported this week out of Seven facilities, while reporting from facilities serving the host communities improved this week 9 out of 15 facilities reported (few facilities are not functioning); Out of the three health facilities serving Yida refugee camp only one facility (MSF-F clinic) reported this week, Yida PHCC, and Wang Kuat PHCC run by CARE did not report. Acute watery diarrhea was the leading priority diseases recorded in the refugee camps, followed by acute jaundice syndrome and Malaria. Eight Hundred and ten (810) suspected Acute Jaundice Syndrome (AJS) cases or confirmed Hepatitis E cases and eight (8) related deaths were recorded from Maban and Yida. Of these, 98% of cases and 100% of deaths were reported in Maban refugee camp, Yusuf Batil in particular. Only 2% of cases were reported in Yida refugee camp. The cumulative AJS cases recorded from Maban refugee camps was 5,892 and 107 related deaths, while 125 AJS cases and 4 deaths were recorded in Yida as of week 5. The trend of AJS cases in Batil has been increasing since week 48 of 2012 till week 5 of 2013. There was no suspected Cholera, Meningitis, Measles or VHF cases reported from refugee camps, but the trend of acute watery diarrhea slightly increased this reported period. Assessments conducted by MSF in Yusuf Batil and camps on water and sanitation condition in the camps indicated that there are major gaps on sanitation and hygiene situation at household and Sheikdom levels. There are very few hand-washing at household or sanitation facility levels, while decommissioning full latrines is a major problem in all camps. Waste management at camp and market place is also a major gap which requires urgent attention. UNHCR and other partners are fully committed to scale up the water and sanitation interventions that will address the gaps identified through these assessments.

Epidemic Prone Disease Reported Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) A total of 1,790 AWD cases were reported from the refugee camps during this reporting week with no related deaths. Of these cases, 85% (1516) cases were recorded from Maban camp and 274 from Yida camps. Children below five years of age accounted for 58% of all reported AWD cases. Figure 1 below shows a comparison of AWD cases reported by Epi-week and year (2012 and 2013). The overall incidence rate of AWD across the camps in Maban County decreased slightly in week 5. The trend of AWD that has been increasing from week one of 2013, reached the second highest peak since week 30 of 2012. Sanitation and hygiene is still a major problem in the refugee camps and the risk of water borne disease outbreak is very high.

Poor sanitation and hygiene practice compounded with inadequate distribution of clean water, lack of soap as hand-washing points and limited access to functioning latrines and too few hand-washing points are likely factors contributing the ongoing upsurge of hepatitis E cases and deaths in Maban refugee camps. There are opportunities to improve the current water and sanitation conditions in the refugee camps in order to contain the upsurge of the outbreak, and UNHCR together with WASH and Health partner are taking steps to implement the newly developed WASH action plans. Other Priority Disease: No suspected case of meningitis, Measles, ILI and VHF was reported during this
reporting period from all refugee camps.
However, Yida and Batil reported high numbers of
respiratory tract infections in the past three weeks.
